When you deleted the XP partition (which would have been the system's primary boot drive) you've obviously also deleted the Vista boot loader (which would've been physically on that partition).

Resolution of the situation is to first repair the Vista install, and then repair the Windows 7 install. The startup repair tools will write new boot loaders for you.

This is the method that I used and it worked great for me!

It seems Win7 is dueling with your other OSes...
